just in bello report - day #2 part one - Since you're gone my empty arms have nothing left to hold

and your memory cannot keep me warm but it never leaves me cold

words of wisdom

Now Tom said "Mom, wherever there's a cop beatin' a guyWherever a hungry newborn baby cries,Where there's a fight 'gainst the blood and hatred in the airLook for me Mom, I'll be thereWherever there's somebody fightin' for a place to stand or a decent job or a helpin' handWherever somebody's strugglin' to be free, look in their eyes Mom you'll see me."

The highway is alive tonight, but nobody's kiddin' nobody about where it goesI'm sittin' downhere in the campfire light, with the Ghost of ol' Tom Joad

Phew. Okay, that's part II of the report, which differently from last one's, will break your dial-up because I HAVE PICS and they're decent enough. I'll probably go, pretty them up and do a proper picspam later, but for now you get the raw ones. If anyone wants to use them (even if I think that about 80% of the other pictures taken that are online are way better) go ahead and snag. I'll eventually share them all AFTER prettying them up. Anyway, let's cut it and go straight to the report or I'll never finish anything. Also I'm splitting this in two because I put a lot of pictures which are HUGE and I don't want to clutter it too much, especially because the J2 panel is long, I have a lot of Misha stuff which got VERY long and I took a lot of notes overall.

Okay, as you probably got from the summary, this was sort of the heaviest one. Also because that was when I had in program to give Misha and Jim stuff during autographs so duh, add that I totally skipped breakfast and had unrelated nausea for other reasons, while I was riding on the train I was a nervous wreck or something, lolol. For Misha I had a shirt to sign (made by pnr, I'll have pictures of it) and I also had a, er, fanmix which was a soundtrack for conquering the world made of nine songs which had a pony in the title and the last one was the Pinky And The Brain theme song because I couldn't find anything else about world domination and anyway it was crack, so I figured I'd go with the crack and end it there. For Jim I had his book and the Deadwood S1 dvds to sign and then I had sort of gone and embroidered an Ellsworth quote on an handkerchief as a last minute idea, and please keep in mind that I hadn't embroidered zilch since I was thirteen and I'm twenty-one. Yay me, huh?

So, anyway, we got there and there was the opening ceremony with all the guests except for Traci whom I guess was out sightseeing or something. So we had Jared, Jensen, Misha, Jim, Richard, Steve and Jason all nicely lined up with this huge ass Easter chocolate egg with JIB con written on it in between them. Things more or less went like that:

- Jensen said that it looked very yummy and he was about to eat it;- Someone else asked what should they do with it instead of just letting it stand there looking pretty;- I think Steve was the first gaining courage and punching the egg so that it half broke;- Jared and Jensen definitely gave the egg another couple of punches and I can't remember if Jason did too but anyway, at one point half of the egg was on the carpet and there were other smaller eggs coming out from inside the major one;- At this point, from the notes, I THINK that Richard was joking about being half hungover and Misha throwing him into a bus and out of the bar the previous evening at the cocktail party, but he could have also said it during his panel which was next, and he made a joke about someone's grandmother being a handsome man (I think he was referring to Misha, too, but I can't swear on it);- They started eating the chocolate (everyone) and someone also took it from the moquette (like, EW, but ha, well, their stomach) and then someone, I THINK Jensen, had this brilliant idea of starting to throw candy on the audience. Misha totally picked it up and start to throw candy HARD on the audience. Clearly EVERYONE next to me managed to grab a piece except for me but I'm hopeless like that and anyway I wouldn't have eaten it;- Jensen joked about the chocolate possibly hurting someone on the head since both him, Misha and someone else (Jared I think) were throwing it FAR;

Here, have some pictures. Sorry if they suck but I gathered the right settings for the camera just before Misha's panel started, and it was the afternoon.

^ well, that one was shot on purpose. *cough*

Then the opening ceremony was over and Richard stayed for his panel. Which was kinda surreal after the first two minutes because Jared was having photo ops at the same time and he had just that session for the entirety of the con, so at one point when someone said 'all people with this kind of pass should go take their picture with Jared now' and they were talking about my pass, EVERYONE minus three people in my section LEFT and I had NO ONE in front of me. Which mean, pictures!! XD

But that said, aw, Richard is awesome. He totally cracked us up and he's just so nice, apart from the panel he spent the whole con around the hotel hanging out with people and taking pictures and bumping into me in the corridor or something, I caught him at least three/four times. The first I was like 'HIII!' and he was like 'HIIIIIIIIIIII!' and I think he's my new crush. Also for the underwear story. BUT, I'll get to it. Meanwhile, panel report (*copies from notes*):

- He got asked how his character in Jericho was influenced by his character in Band Of Brothers and he said it was an intentional reference because Jericho writers really liked Mark in BoB, or at least I think it's what he said;- Someone asked him a question in Italian that had to be translated and before he got it, he said it was the sexiest question he ever heard even if he hadn't understood zilch;- He got asked how it was to go from demon to in-disguise angel in SPN and if he saw that coming, he said that he hadn't suspected it until he got the script for 5x08 but that he could see it looking back at things and he absolutely loved it;- Someone asked him how does he stay in shape and he answered that he runs regularly and his wife doesn't keep fattening food in the fridge and that he's grateful for that;- At one point someone was trying to translate some Italian stuff which I can't remember and he said we were taking slang to the next level because it was something that sounded better in Italian than English even if it was probably cursing;- He asked if we all had our orange underwear for Misha (and we showed it) and then he re-told the underwear story for anyone who didn't know about it already. Trying to cut it short (he was way funnier while telling this): the guy who played the cop who was supposed to be the Trickster in 5x08 had told Richard he'd leave him some kind of present after the shooting, so Richard gets back in his trailer and finds out USED orange men briefs and thinks 'what the hell?'. So he goes to the production and they tell him that the guy left him some beer, and so Richard thinks that Jared and Jensen pranked him, except that they are completely WTF when he tells them so he's like WHO THE HELL LEFT ORANGE UNDERWEAR IN MY TRAILER? until he asks around and finds out that the briefs were Misha's. He had spilled some soup on his clothes (Misha) and gave everything to wash to whoever took care of the wardrobe and apparently said person made a mistake and left the underwear in Richard's trailer. So Richard goes to Misha and asks 'WHY DO YOU EVEN HAVE THIS' and Misha's like 'a fan gave them to me' and Richard is like 'omg and he even WORE them?!'. Then he wrote 'THIS UNDERWEAR SMELLS LIKE CAS' on the briefs which are now hanging in production room or something. Anyway, the plan for the prank Richard wanted to pull was that during Misha's second panel the girl who cosplayed Cas the day before would go on stage and tell him we had something for him and then someone would collect all the underwear and bring it on stage, but she said she'd do it just if Richard bought her a drink and he swore he would. I guess he did? XD- His favorite episode to shoot was Changing Channels but his favorite scene is in Tall Tales when he's having sex with the girls in the auditorium;- He thinks that Gabriel was listening when Dean gave him that speech about family and that he felt busted (Gabe, not Dean); Gabriel is currently frustrated and definitely interested in Dean & Sam, and probably sort of admires them;- He talked a bit about how the CGI for the fire circle worked;- He doesn't see the mail that arrives for the crew;- When asked in which show he'd like to play he'd say he loves 30 Rock and would love a part on it (he also loves Tina Fey) and that for a drama he'd have loved a role on the Sopranos or on a Law And Order which I didn't manage to understand;- They asked him 'what about CW shows' and brought in Smallville and the Vampire porn Diaries; he said he's too old for CW shows in his opinion and that anyway, IS SMALLVILLE STILL EVEN AIRING? SUPERMAN SHOULD HAVE KIDS BY NOW and as everyone cracked up a piece of the egg still on stage fell down and he was like 'omg the CW is sending us death vibes;

Then he had another question but I didn't write it down and I can't remember, sorry. XD

Pictures!

At that point, it was autographs time, both Misha and Jim in the same room. Which translated into, OMG OMG HEAR ME FREAKING OUT LIKE NOTHING ELSE OMG OMG.

So, since I'm a masochist, I go for Misha first figuring that if I can do that, I can do anything. One girl comes by looking ECSTATIC while I get in the end of the line and I'm like 'what?' and she's like 'I ASKED HIM IF I COULD KISS HIM AND HE LET ME' and I was like OMG and thought I COULD try to ask if I didn't outright faint. So I go and do my line and augh, I swear, that man's eyes are otherwordly. I just hope I didn't stare too much but thankfully I didn't end up forgetting my English as I was fearing. So, it goes like this.

Me: I have a little something for you.Him: oh, awesome!Me: since I know you like ponies and that you want to conquer the world, I made you a little soundtrack. I hope you like it.

*hands cd which btw, was the one in the pic here*

Him: *makes completely OMGWHUT THIS WASN'T EXPECTED FACE* and says something like it's seriously cool and I'll totally listen to it, sorry but I totally forgot because I was too busy staring and being like OMG HE LIKED ITMe: sooo, can you sign this for me? *hands shirt*

Me: hey, can I ask you one last thing?Him: sure!Me: could I kiss you?Him: indeed, go ahead! *turns cheek in my direction*

So I lean down and kiss him on the cheek and wave goodbye and then as I was walking back I swear my hand was automatically shaking. Well, so much that a Japanese girl stopped me and was like 'what happened?' and I was like 'I FUCKING KISSED HIM!!!!!!!!!!' and she was like 'OMG DOES HE DO THAT?' and me 'well, ask him' and then I go to Jim's line where I managed to lose my pass after they wrote something behind it to sign that I had my autograph with him. Yes, I can be an idiot. Thankfully they gave me a copy of the pass later, ARGH, but that ended up making me lose more of the first Jensen panel than I'd have liked to. ANYWAY, let's not share the pass woes because I think I lost it because my hand wouldn't keep itself straight.

So I go to Jim and I'm like 'hiii, I have two things for you to sign' and he's all like 'sureee, go ahead' and I pass him his book and he asks me if I read in English. At which I gather I was the first Italian one who brought the English book? Whatever, I tell him that I do and that I loved it and he signed it for me while I was kind of gushing over the book. Then I'm like 'WAAAIT' and I hand him the Deadwood S1 dvds telling him that I had started seeing it also because he was in there and that I loved it to pieces even if it ruined my life and he looked seriously happy about it which I guess wasn't a bad thing. Then while he was signing I said that since I had REALLY loved it and his character I had thought to do something and handed him the handkerchief with I'M A LETHALLY QUICK STUDY embroidered on it and he like thanked me four times. One of these in Italian and I was like 'PREGO' as much as he wanted, lol. He's SO nice, aw, I don't think I can describe the guy's niceness. Really. I-can't.

So anyway, after that I realized I lost my pass and I lost another ten mins between retrieving it and putting all my things in my bag, so when I finally managed to get into Jensen's panel it was almost over and someone had stolen my place, duh. From what I remember he was answering a question about how hard it is to act when you need to die and have to keep your eyes open, but as soon as I sat down Jared crashed the panel because it was his turn and Jensen was having either ops or autographs, so I don't have zilch about the Jensen panel #1. Sorry but.. I WAS KISSING MISHA MEANWHILE, I CAN'T EXACTLY CRY. Also Jensen had another panel the next day anyway.

Anyway Jared crashed Jensen's panel and they did something adorable which right now I can't exactly recall and then he sat down and started answering questions. And everyone someone said 'hi, I'm NAME from PLACE' he was like 'HI, I'M JARED FROM TEXAS' and at one point someone was like 'I'm X from Y AND I KNOW YOU'RE JARED FROM TEXAS', lol. He's so fun! AND SO TALL! And he has such a lovely smile. Aw. I want to marry them all, dammit. Also it seemed like he was having a lot of fun even if he was totally jetlagged because his flight got delayed by like 5 hours and there was a girl who was on that same flight which at one point gave him something related to that? Maybe a ticket or something, I couldn't exactly see what it was. Aaand, these are my notes!

- One of the first questions was about Friday 13th and his character and he said that he THOUGHT he died after the last shot but they left things open for a reason and that he wouldn't shoot another movie during a summer hiatus again because working on that and SPN was crazy;- His favorite scene in Mystery Spot is the diner scene and someone actually suggested him which was his line;- He got asked what he'd do if he could meet Sam and he said he'd punch him in the face and send him on a vacation; also, Kripke never tells them anything so he's surprised himself by where his character goes;- Sam fell for Ruby because she's pretty and Kripke manipulated him on her intentions, too;- When asked why Sam has more topless scenes than Dean he answered he had no idea and maybe Dean will be the naked one next year;- He likes story arcs and mythologies better than monster of the week episodes; also it takes a couple of months to write each episode (I can't remember if the question was related or if it was another one);- Someone asked him if he had some fun stories about his dogs and he answered that they're the set's dogs and that he got them in LA before he moved to Vancouver and that it was crazy because he hadn't thought he would when he got the dogs; it was Harley's birthday the next day and he'd have given him a call or something;- He loved Ruby as a character but well, he hopes that even if Ruby and Sam are over there's a relationship for HIM and then he showed his wedding ring;- Sam had genuine feelings for Ruby because he could relate to her;- At that point he asked how do you say 'I smell' in Italian and said he felt dirty or something, the presenter asked him if he wanted a shower and Jared replied, WITH YOU? and the whole place when down with laughter;- Sam doesn't get (still) his lifestyle because he thinks he never really GOT it when it was showed on him;- He'd like a part on Family Guy even if his first answer (joking) was The Bachelor;- At the beginning of SPN he'd get confused because his name on GG was Dean, too, and he and Jensen would answer at the same time when someone called for Dean;- He loves working with Kripke;- Also he gave some mild spoilers saying that Titus Welliver is probably coming back and that he loved working with him; also

when asked something about his character's arc he phrased it in a way that for ME suggested that either Sam or Dean is going to say yes at one point but THAT'S WHAT I READ INTO IT HE DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING THAT SPECIFIC.

SPOILER ALERT OVER

And that's what I have. With some pictures but my Jared & Jensen solo ones are mostly crap, I took better ones during the J2 panel so not much for now. Actually I'm not even bothering with Jensen's because I was really far and they're mostly zoom and without the right settings.

After that I went to get my autograph with him (Jared I mean) and got him to sign my S1-S3 comprehensive dvds box set. I'll reiterate: HE HAS SUCH A BEAUTIFUL SMILE. It was quick but then again he didn't have other sessions of autographs so I didn't chat or anything, but I wasn't expecting it.

Then I finally got some downtime before going for the J2 photo op which ran half an hour late because someone had the AWESOME idea of walking back too much and make the background fall. From what I heard Jensen had a OMG WTF'S GOING ON reaction but anyway, point is the line wasn't moving and the next thing was the Misha panel where there was supposed to be the handing of the underwear and er, I think I exhausted all the poor people in line with me because I was fretting about possibly missing the panel. Thankfully I didn't have to choose between that and the J2 picture because it moved fast, when it started again, and I managed to do both. On one side it was half a good thing because I was sort of nervous before but after getting angry over the lateness I just barged in, went like 'HIIII!' to the both of them and took the picture without my knees faltering as happened the day before. *cough*

And thank you! It was such an awesome con. And Misha was obviously having a good time, I think. As we all were, but they said it also the last day. I mean, during the closure ceremony. Thanks re the Jensen shot!! I tried to do my best, lol. ;)

I had! I was in second row, sadly I understood the right camera settings after a day so almost all my day one pics aren't even worth trying to fix. :/

Richard is GREAT. I mean, I knew, but at this con I just hearted him so much. He spent most time of the evenings hanging out with fans and he was just so great. Also he told me hi a bunch of times when I met him in the corridor, lol.

Misha totally let me! He actually let a bunch of people and my friend who managed to touch his hair at Asylum did it AGAIN, but ha, I can't believe he let me either. NOT THAT I MIND. I think they were the best five seconds of my life or something.

Thank you! I tried to be original. I kinda wanted to bring the others stuff too but I couldn't come up with anything decent so I just stuck with those two.

More than two! Jared was the only one who had just one panel to himself, but he was there just on Saturday so he also got only one op session and one auto session. Jensen had a panel on Sat, one on Sun and then he had a third joint one with Jason (it was the last), Misha actually had three (one on Fri, one on Sat, the last on Sun and it was an auction; he actually did the last 15 mins with Jim who crashed it, but that goes in my report for tomorrow ;) ). WE WERE INDEED LUCKY.

Jared IS way large, duh. Even if they took ops seated so I sadly didn't manage to see how short I actually looked next to him, lol. Jensen is so beautiful he's out of this world really.

In person they're like aliens from some planet where they make perfect people.

TOTALLY. Even if Misha still gets my first spot. Yeah, yeah, blasphemy maybe, but hey, he let me kiss him. Has to count, right? ;)

I'm really really happy you got the nerves to ask Misha for a kiss and he agreed! lol! seriously, that is great. your signed shirt looks awesome

great report babe! I love your enthusiasm and see it was tons of fun. Richard was one of my favorite in Vancouver, he's so frigging funny! so, how was the sandwich, except fast? Jared is one tall fucker, isn't he?

Seriously. I can't believe I didn't have the nerve to ask him anything the day before. If I had done autographs the first day.... XD but yeah. Best-five-seconds-of-my-life. And that shirt is going on my wall or something. Thank you!!!

And I had such fun, oh my. The organization was pretty good too so there weren't even woes on that point. Richard is SO AWESOME!

Ha, the sandwich was fast and.. well. They weren't standing and I was, and since with me standing I was as tall as Jensen seated and Jared was a bit taller than me... yeaaaaaaaah. TALL FUCKER INDEED. But it was good! I also was pretty calm during it which I guess was good in the end. Though duh. Touching them both was SURREAL. XD

(and is that a Damon/Alaric icon I'm seeing??? *snags* damn, I need to watch the vporn one of these days. XD)

Heee, thank you! Well, making him/you LOL was more or less the target. I never said it had to be serious. ;) And yeah, it's all pony related. Actually I was surprised that so many pony related songs ACTUALLY EXIST.

Thank you so much! Re the pictures, I mean. And ha, well, Richard is actually NORMAL. Bless him. He DOES look like a midget in comparison to everyone else though, poor baby. Not that I minded much, at least his head wasn't TOTALLY ABOVE MINE when I had my op with him.

He so has! I love that guy, aw. After this con I love him more, but yeah. He's just... <3333333333333 cute indeed! And ha, LOL, I had a kind of crush on him after that first sex scene he had in SPN when I first noticed that he was FINE, but yeah. He iiissss.
